Donhead Fun Run 2012

Every year in March Donhead has a family fun run. One of my first fond memories from school is doing a fun run and as you know I am all for encouraging sport and fitness so I was totally amped for this event. The boys could choose to do either 2.5km or 5km. It was a fundraising event so they had to get sponsorship per kilometer from family and friends. This was something new to Nicholas and he quite enjoyed learning how it worked. It didn't take him long to figure out that if he ran further he would raise more money. So even though we entered him for the shorter run he insisted on going the whole way. He was one of only 3 boys from his age group to do the whole 5km and he won his section with a time of 47.20min. I am glad his determination got the better of him. Had he turned back halfway his result wouldn't have been half as impressive but of course we didn't tell him that. He was totally exhausted by the end but ever so proud of himself. Way to go my boytjie!

Thank you very much to everyone
who kindly agreed to sponsor him
